Italian banks are implementing online banking services in order to improve their relationships with customers.

In terms of the most used apps, Android and iOS are leading operative systems for online banking services.

Users report that online banking is quite useful regarding bank operations such as money transfers, general account information and payment of fees and trading activities.
Despite the given possibilities of managing stocks and bank products independently, some online bank account holders still prefer to trust a professional.
The main reasons for not managing stock portfolios are lack of expertise, lack of skills and preferring the trust of a professional.
Another element that is relevant is the absence of human contact, ranking as the leading reason for not using home banking systems.
